If a suit be commenced under the provisions of
this Act, and it appear to the Court that the wife has not sufficient separate
property to enable her to maintain herself suitably to her station in life and
to prosecute or defend the suit, the Court may, pending the suit, order the
husband to furnish the wife with sufficient funds to enable her to prosecute or
defend the suit, and also for her maintenance pending the suit.

If the suit be brought by a husband against a
wife, the Court may by the decree order the husband to make such allowance to
his wife for her maintenance during the remainder of her life as the Court
shall think just, and having regard to the condition and station in life of the
parties.

Any allowance so ordered shall cease from the
time of any subsequent marriage of the wife.
